Darrell Henderson still very much in Rams' plans HC: Addition of Sony Michel "doesn't change the outlook for him" By: Doug Orth | Aug 26 2021, 11:25 pm
Sean McVay on Sony Michel:
“Wanted to make sure that we got somebody else that’s played in big-time games.”
“(Darrell Henderson) is still going to have a very big role. Doesn’t really change the outlook for him." (NFL Network - Andrew Siciliano)
FFToday's Take:While fantasy managers can be a skeptical bunch, what McVay is saying makes a lot of sense. Michel hasn't handled much work in the passing game and isn't going to get the reps he needs to be a factor there at this point of the preseason. Anderson's fantasy value undoubtedly takes a hit, but he should still be viewed as a strong flex option with occasional RB2 upside to begin the season. What happens after that depends largely on how quickly Michel adjusts to his new system.
